Transmission Range Sensor
1992 Dodge and Ram Caravan FWD V6-201 3.3LSECTION Transmission Range Sensor
The transmission range sensor (on the valve body) sends a signal to the TCM on the position of the transaxle manual valve lever. The TCM receives the switch signal and processes the data. The TCM sends the Shift Lever Position (SLP) information to the BCM via the CCD bus. The BCM then outlines with a box the appropriate shifter position indicator in the instrument cluster.
If a problem arises with the shifter position indicator, consult the following chart for diagnostic information. If the malfunction cannot be corrected using the chart, consult the proper diagnostic chart in Transmission Control Systems.
